With five cats in the house, including one kitten, the tree and the whole house was a mess the day after we put it up.

Usually we wait until New Year's Day to take the tree down, but I couldn't wait and took it to the dumpster this morning. Everyone knows that a cut, live tree isn't gonna live no matter much sugar water you give it.

Next week I'll buy a good fake tree at a huge discount and never again buy a real one.

i prefer fake ones. my siamese climbs the real one every year and knocks it over. this year the wife and i didnt put one up. she had the tree spot covered in horse saddles and horse gear. next year it will be a fake.

The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...

You could always do like my stepmom did. Take two tall tomato cages and wire them together (Make sure they are the green cages) then she wrapped them with green and silver garland and lights that my dad wired on with thin green floral wire.
